Chapter 145
"Great, our points balance is back to 45,000!"
Tang Yu was in a good mood, and Zhou Qi was in a good mood too. However, seeing that there was one less bottle of primary healing potion, he couldn't help but worry.
"The supply of healing potion is a bit low."
Currently, there are only two and a half bottles of primary level and two bottles of intermediate level left. It’s okay if they just reserve them for themselves, but it won’t be enough if they are used for trading.
"It's okay. We can use the Seven-Day Sale Card and maybe we can get more healing potions."
Tang Yu'an said this and directly took out a seven-day sale card to use.
The seven-day sale card will always refresh what they need, and they now have sufficient points balance, so they don’t have to worry about insufficient points!
Then, as he used the item card, the Seven-Day Sale interface began to change, and then...
Tang Yu'an widened his eyes in disbelief.
Seeing this, Zhou Qi quickly opened the seven-day sale interface to check, and saw -
[Seven-day sale (remaining refresh time: 3 days)]
1. Intermediate Healing Bandage (3/3): 200 points/roll
describe:……
2. Intermediate Healing Potion (4/4): 400 points/bottle
describe:……
3. Cold medicine (3/3): 100 points/3 tablets
describe:……
4. Self-priming variable temperature air conditioner (2/2): 688 points/unit
Description: Level 1, gray-blue series magical furniture created by the furniture elf Bobo, with a one-year warranty. If there is any problem after one year, you can pay to summon the elf for repairs.
Function: An air conditioner that can automatically absorb energy. It absorbs ice energy when the room temperature is lower than the set temperature, and absorbs heat energy when the room temperature is higher than the set temperature to achieve the effect of temperature control.
5. Space Stone (1/1): 48888 points/piece
Description: Rare material
Function: Can be used to make space equipment, furniture upgrades, etc.
When he saw the last item on sale, although he was mentally prepared, Zhou Qi still widened his eyes.
"It's the space stone!" He looked at Tang Yu'an in surprise.
So far, they only have one piece of lv2 magical furniture, which is an automatic water storage thermos. They are still 4 pieces away from the 5 pieces of lv2 magical furniture that the store has upgraded.
And now with this space stone, they will have the second piece of level 2 magical furniture!
Tang Yu'an pouted in grievance, "That's too much! My points are about to run out again!"
Not only has the bottom been reached, but it's not enough.
Because he only has 45,000 points, and this space stone costs 48,888, which is not enough to exchange, not to mention the magical furniture such as the self-priming energy-changing air conditioner, he definitely doesn't want to miss it.
Zhou Qi smiled and said, "If the points are gone, I can earn more."
Moreover, the value of this space stone is 50,000 points. It is indeed a good deal to buy it from the seven-day sale. If it is in the plane store, it will definitely be more expensive.
Tang Yu'an also knew this. He sighed and closed the page temporarily.
He must buy this space stone first, and then buy other good things when he has enough money.
Thinking of this, he opened the remaining bottle.
A bright white ball of light appeared in the air, and Xiao Hailan's voice sounded in the attic.
"Great and benevolent mysterious merchant, please respond to my call and come to my dream." The little girl's voice was full of piety.
Tang Yu'an: "..."
I always feel that Xiao Hailan's prayers are starting to become strange.
But he didn't care. After clearing his throat, he responded to the little girl.
"What do you want to trade this time?"
"A quilt! Daddy said he wanted a warm quilt."
Speaking of Haijing, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but praise him: "Your father is my employee now. He performed very well today."
It brought him a full 30,000 points!
"Thank you for your compliment. I'll tell Dad!" Little Hailan said happily, "Dad exchanged a lot of salt with the villagers today."
Tang Yu'an made a rough estimate.
If what Haijing got in exchange for the brown rice today was all salt, then he must have gotten at least six or seven hundred kilograms of salt, right?
That is indeed a considerable number!
"Exchange this salt for quilts," he said.
"But the quality of this salt is not good." Little Hailan said honestly, "Dad has already used a new method to dry salt at the beach..."
"It doesn't matter." Tang Yu'an said, "Just use these salt to exchange. How many quilts do you need?"
A 2m x 1.2m down sheet is worth 400 points, and there are 18 households in Xiao Hailan's village, so...
"How about I give you 18 down quilts in exchange for all the salt in your house?" Tang Yu'an said.
"good!"
So, Tang Yu'an opened the wholesale market and exchanged 10 down cloths of 2 meters x 1.2 meters in one go. As a result, after clicking OK, a system prompt popped up.
[You purchased a large quantity of down. Did you spend 50 points on vacuum processing?]
There is such a service? It's quite considerate.
Taking Xiao Hailan's family environment into consideration, Tang Yu'an chose to pay points for vacuum treatment. After receiving the batch of down cloth, he took out one to check.
I saw this 2m x 1.2m duvet rolled into strips and tightly wrapped in transparent plastic film.
This vacuum-packed duvet is only 60 centimeters long and about as thick as an adult's arm, looking like a large rolled towel.
This vacuum packaging is pretty good! And the plastic film on the outside is also very sturdy.
So he explained to Xiao Hailan and then completed the transaction with her.
These 18 down sheets cost him 7,250 points, but the rewards were generous.
[You completed a profitable trade with a Dream Wisher, points +26,550 (points doubling card in effect), experience +6...]
[You obtained 821 kilograms of coarse salt...]
There are more than 800 kilograms of salt in Haijing’s house!
Looking at the points balance that skyrocketed again, Tang Yu'an was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
After completing the transaction with Xiao Hailan, his points balance once again reached 64,000+, and he had enough money to exchange for space stones!
Tang Yu'an immediately shared the good news with Zhou Qi.
"It seems that it was indeed the right decision not to recruit Xiao Hailan as an employee." He said with a smile.
This batch of salt was traded by Haijing from the villagers, which in itself brought them points.
Now that Xiao Hailan is trading it to them again, she can earn points for them again.
I don’t know if this can be considered a loophole in the rules, but since it does not trigger the system’s self-inspection, they can continue to exploit this model.
Tang Yu'an excitedly opened the seven-day sale and bought the precious space stone.
The items purchased from the seven-day sale are not bound, and he can take out the stone and trade it freely.
However, the system has fixed the bug, and he can no longer use the "trading game" to earn points, so it doesn't matter.
This space stone must be used to upgrade furniture.
Tang Yu'an put the space stone away, looked at the other items on sale for the seven days, then looked at his balance, and finally decided to buy everything else at once.
Including the space stone, he spent a total of 52,764 points. Looking at the remaining 11,000+ points, Tang Yu'an actually felt that it was not bad.
At least I still have five-digit points, I’m not a pauper with a points balance of 0!
"Do you want to try this air conditioner?" Tang Yu'an took out the air conditioner he had just bought.
No. 1 Store now has refrigerators and freezers for cooling during the day and Lanlin for heating at night. In addition, there are quilts and a heated kang that will be built soon, so it seems unnecessary to use such high-tech products.
At the Ping'an Grocery Store, they slept in the attic at night. They had purple-red carpets as mattresses and hundreds of blue beard leaves to regulate the temperature, which was actually quite comfortable.
As more and more methods are used to adjust the temperature, variable temperature air conditioners seem to become less important.
Zhou Qi shook his head and said, "You can put it in the warehouse."
Tang Yu'an's eyes lit up.
Indeed, the temperature of the warehouse is also very important. His portable warehouse is only about ten cubic meters, and now the space is a bit insufficient.
So some of the less important things, they had to put in the warehouse.
Foods such as lizard eggs, rice, flour, candy and snacks that have not been eaten yet can easily spoil in the high temperature during the day.
With this automatic energy-absorbing variable temperature air conditioner, you can save a lot of fuel costs!
"We put one at home and one at Store No. 1, which is just right." Tang Yu'an said happily.
"Um."
Zhou Qi glanced at the time and said, "It's quite late. Do you want to take a shower?"
Although there is purification magic, taking a hot bath is a pleasure. If they have enough points, they will occasionally indulge in it.
Tang Yu'an shook his head and waved his hand, and the two of them were enveloped by the light of purification.
When the bright light disappeared, even the clothes on the two of them became clean.
Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiaoqi, when I cast the purification spell on you, did the parasite react?"
Zhou Qi shook his head.
"It's really strange. The description of purification clearly states that it can purify evil spirits. Isn't this parasite considered an evil spirit?" Tang Yu'an muttered.
Hearing this, Zhou Qi carefully felt his body again.
The parasite was indeed quiet and had not responded for a long time.
"Maybe it's not the power of a system?" he guessed.
He had recently been exploring his skills and had felt the difference between natural and mystical powers, but he seemed to be able to sense both.
"I'll try again after I improve my purification skills."
Tang Yu'an said this and looked at the time again.
There are still 3 minutes until 12 o'clock, and they are going to fish out tomorrow's message in a bottle, so as to earn more points while the points doubling effect is still there.
Bored with waiting, he opened the message board.
The message board is quite lively.
[Yunying]: Hello everyone, I’m a newbie.
[Rock]: Wow, it’s a new name!
[Pu Wei]: Good evening.
[Yunying]: Do you know what compulsory education is?
[Panshi]: Is it the mission of compulsory education?
[Cloud Eagle]: Have you received this task as well?
[Panshi]: Yes, I have already exchanged the course. I have nothing to do tonight, so I can study it.
[Cloud Eagle]: Is it considered completed as long as the course is redeemed?
[Panshi]: Yes, you can get 10 points as a reward after completing this task, which is equivalent to giving us a course for free.
[Panshi]: And the classes are fun! I love Teacher Tongtong! I'm going to go to class now!
[Yunying]: Okay, thank you for your answer.
The message board was basically a conversation between the whale and the stone. The grass didn't make a sound at all, probably because it was studying seriously.
The curriculum for first and second grade primary school is relatively simple for students of their age.
Moreover, the course explanations are not boring. Not only are there holographic projection teachers, but there are also video animation explanations. For people who have no entertainment activities in the wasteland, it is naturally very attractive.
Judging from the task feedback, almost all employees have redeemed the courses. As for whether they have studied seriously, it is not something Tang Yu'an can force.
Soon, when the time passed 12 o'clock, the number of bottles that could be retrieved was automatically refreshed.
Tang Yu'an opened Meng Hai's window again and took out a message in a bottle.
"Food...Mysterious Merchant, I want food..."
Hearing Xiao Risheng's voice ringing in the attic, Tang Yu'an showed a big smile on his face.
Great, I can earn a large amount of points again!
"How many leaves did you prepare this time?" he asked.
"I have 300 leaves!"
Wow! Another great deal!
Tang Yu'an suppressed his joy and listened to Xiao Risheng say, "He wants... he wants one thousand. The lord wants one thousand..."
one thousand?
"You want to exchange 300 blue beard leaves for 1,000 kilograms of brown rice, right?"
"Um!"
Previously, one piece of blue beard leaf could be exchanged for three kilograms of brown rice. Now the price has increased, but... Tang Yu'an did a simple calculation and felt that this deal could still be done.
"Yes, but only if the transaction amount is more than 300 blue beard leaves. That's the price."
"good."
So, Tang Yu'an spent 5,000 points to exchange for 1,000 kilograms of brown rice, and then completed the transaction with Xiao Risheng.
[You completed a profitable trade with a Dream Wisher, points +20,000 (points doubling card in effect), experience +6...]
[You obtained 300 mutant blue beard leaves...]
After deducting the cost of 5,000 points, the total profit is still 15,000 points!
"It would be great if the points doubling card could be effective forever." Tang Yu'an couldn't help but say.
Zhou Qi also nodded.
Unfortunately, after 3 a.m., the doubling effect will disappear.
"There is still one message in a bottle left, let's try to fish it out." Zhou Qi said.
"Um!"
Tang Yu'an came to the window again, but when he looked into the sea of dreams, he found that the bright message in the bottle that should belong to Lao Xie was gone.
He quickly opened the map and found that Lao Xie's cursor was still in the center of the deserted city, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
This is a message in a dream bottle. Maybe Lao Xie just woke up at that moment, so the message in the bottle disappeared.
Tang Yu'an didn't care and his gaze returned to Meng Hai.
From one bottle after another, he saw one with a brighter light, so he reached out and took it out.
Tang Yu'an opened the bottle and watched the ball of light float into the air.
"Water... I want water..."
It was the boy who was unconscious due to lack of water!
Is it very dry in their area? Why is he always short of water?
"Hello." Tang Yu'an spoke tentatively.
Fortunately, this time, the boy was conscious and responded to Tang Yu'an in his sleep.
"You... who are you?"
"I am the mysterious merchant, and I am talking to you in your dream."
"The mysterious businessman...dream?"
"Yes, this isn't our first meeting. Remember the water?"
"Water? It's you! No, it was you who sent the rain to save me?"
The young man's hurried voice sounded, and the light ball in his dream became unstable.
"You'd better stay calm, otherwise you will wake up from your dream and our conversation will end."
With Tang Yu'an's reminder, the boy quickly controlled his emotions.
Seeing his ball of light stabilize again, Tang Yu'an also breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time admired his self-control.
After all, few people can control themselves in dreams, and so quickly.
"You still want water, right?" he asked.
"Yes, I want water. If I don't drink water, I'll die of thirst..."
"What do you want to exchange for?" Tang Yu'an asked.
The boy's voice weakened again, and he asked anxiously, "Do you... need anything? I, I only have a ragged piece of clothing on me..."
Hearing this, Tang Yu'an couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
He knew that the young man had no family and now it seemed that he was also penniless.
Tang Yu'an immediately gave up the idea of profiting from this poor young man. After all, even if the points were doubled, it was estimated that the points he could obtain would hardly exceed one hundred.
So, it’s better to get something more useful.
For example...
"If you can answer my questions well, I can give you water."
"Okay, go ahead and ask..."
"May I have your name?"
"I don't have a name."
"What do other people call you?"
"You bastard..."
Tang Yuan paused, and felt a little more sympathy for this young man whom he had never met before. He said, "This is not a name."
The boy fell silent, seeming a little at a loss.
"If you don't mind, I can get one for you." Tang Yu'an said.
Although he was puzzled, the boy still responded, "Okay."
"Is there anything you like?"
"I...I like water! I want water!"
Tang Yu'an looked at Zhou Qi. Zhou Qi thought for a moment and said, "Then let's call it Ganlin, the kind of rain that comes after a long drought."
"Gan Lin, this will be your name from now on, okay?" Tang Yu'an said.
"Okay, let's call it this."
"Gan Lin, where are you? Are there any settlements nearby?"
The boy's voice became unclear.
"Yanlong Fort... I'm near Yanlong Fort..." His voice became rapid, probably because he realized that he was about to wake up from the dream, and wanted to stay but woke up faster.
[The dream wisher is about to wake up, please complete the transaction as soon as possible]
Tang Yu'an sighed. When he heard about Yanlong Castle, he was shocked and wanted to ask more questions, but the boy's dream became unstable.
But all dream wishers were similar at the beginning, so he got used to it.
So he took a 750ml mineral water bottle, filled it with water, and agreed to the deal with the boy.
[You completed a loss-making transaction with a dream wisher, experience points +6, dream fragment +1]
-
In the desolate ruins, in a collapsed and abandoned house.
A ray of deep moonlight shone in from outside through the crack in the wall and fell on the young man curled up in the corner.
He was so thin, his face was pale, and his lips were cracked and bleeding.
At a certain moment, the boy who was sleeping with his eyes closed suddenly woke up.
He opened his mouth to say something, but the sound that came out was so hoarse and dry, and the pain in his throat quickly made him close his mouth.
Gan Lin looked at the familiar environment around him and sat there blankly.
Just now...was that a dream?
He clearly remembered the strange voice in his dream, which sounded like it came from a robot, but it sounded much more emotional.
Recalling the conversation in the dream, the voice claiming to be a mysterious businessman gave him a name.
Sweet rain?
It sounded pretty good, and he was a little confused.
Although he really wanted a name, this didn't seem like a name he could come up with.
Gan Lin turned his head to look at the crack in the wall. The sky outside had darkened and the long dragon of flames had temporarily disappeared. At least from now until tomorrow, they could live a little more comfortably.
Fire dragons are not real dragons.
According to Lao Mo, the legendary dragon is an auspicious beast and a god in the sky and sea.
Gan Lin had never seen a real dragon, but everyone said that the thing wreaking havoc over Yanlong Castle was a fire dragon, so he just followed suit and called it that.
The fire dragon looks like a dragon from a distance, but looks like a ball of fire burning in the air when you look closely.
It occurs three or four times a year, each time for at least a month. During the months when the fire dragon is active, the land becomes extremely dry.
But for those who live outside the fortress, life will become very difficult.
Gan Lin looked at the fortress standing on the horizon, his eyes full of longing.
But even though it seems to be very close, it will take at least half a day to walk from here to Yanlong Castle, and without the crystal, he can't get in.
He looked away in disappointment, sat down on the ground, and then...
"Bang--"
With a slight sound, he knocked something over.
Gan Lin was startled and reached out to touch it. He felt a slight chill, which made him quickly pick up the thing and examine it under the moonlight.
It turned out to be a brand new plastic bottle, and it was filled with... water?
Gan Lin was stunned for a second, then he quickly unscrewed the bottle cap, held the bottle and took a tentative sip. After tasting the sweet water, he swallowed instinctively.
He gulped down half a bottle of water until his stomach was so full that he could not drink any more, and then he finally stopped.
Gan Lin held the remaining half bottle of water, his eyes shining brightly.
So it wasn't that he was dreaming, he really saw a mysterious businessman in his dream.
Not only did He give him a nice name, but He also gave him precious water after just asking him a few questions!
Gan Lin held the water bottle and was stunned for a while. Then he quickly hid the bottle under the rubble, climbed out of the collapsed house, and ran to a collapsed house not far away.
He crawled in skillfully and soon saw an old man with closed eyes and chapped lips under the window.
"Lao Mo, Lao Mo!" Gan Lin reached out to shake him.
"You bastard..."
The old man was shaken awake. He looked at the young man and said with a weak breath, "I'm going to die..."
He wanted to say his last words, but was interrupted by Gan Lin.
"I can't die!"
Then he untied the kettle tied around the old man's waist and ran out in a hurry.
